Fawkes

I'm fine. Currently trying to avoid revleft because it's so easy to procrastinate on here instead of revising for my exams. How you been doing?

Nice to see you posting again

Fawkes is the bomb.

It means I essentially believe in a de-centralised cultural system in which the socialist state or Soviet does not evangelise any kind of "official socialist state culture".

Just as a political anarchist believes there is no such thing as the centralised "state" in a communist society, I believe there is no such thing as a singular dominant "official socialist culture" in a communist society.

I describe myself as a political Leninist but cultural anarchist.

Some anarchists are somewhat skeptical of transgenderism in the "traditional" sense because they think it just follows the established stereotypical characteristics of the male and female genders.

I think that many instances of transgenderism do have an innate biological basis, so I disagree with the post-modernist notion that it is all a "social construction". Also from the perspective of cultural democracy, people should have the right to follow whatever gender expression they choose anyway, whether they are "genderqueer" or more "traditional". No-one should be a cultural chauvinist and force one's own particular cultural views onto other people.

Are you an anarchist?

I know many anarchists propose that we should actually abolish social gender, so that essentially we all become "genderqueer".

I don't in principle oppose that, but it's not something that should be forced on people. I strongly believe in cultural democracy, which means people have the right to follow more "traditional" forms of gender expression or even gender roles, as long as these are not forced on other people.

Are you transgendered or genderqueer?

An androgynous person- I'm not sure where it's from. Likely a model.

I remember that, I'll have to look and see if I still have the messages in my inbox.
